IMDB link To use imdb's summary,
"A teenage loner pushes his way into the underworld of a high school crime ring to investigate the disappearance of his ex-girlfriend."
What I enjoyed most about this film was that it was a very "grownup" story in a teenage setting. Yet it manages to still feel very adult. It's part detective, part gangster, part thriller, and part drama all wrapped up in a very solid package. And it was definitely one of those movies you have to pay close attention to. I almost wish I would have watched it a second time before returning it.I have to admit, I was a bit surprised seeing Joseph Gordon-Levitt being able to pull off a role that was so crucial to the film's structure. I didn't think he was a bad actor before, I was just to surprised to see that he was that good.It was also good to see Lukas Haas again, who I haven't actually seen in anything since Mars Attacks! (he's been in stuff, I just haven't seen any of it.)
Definitely an owner.
